Great Phone with attractive specs in this price category. Initial heating issues were noticed but then nothing really a big concern here.In the initial reviews there were some complaints about the Camera and quality of shots, but honestly with my usage have never found this as a shortcoming.

A good phone overall only cons i noticed was phone gets hots sometimes while watchong YouTube..but it gets cools quicklyAnd other thing i noticed is that even though the battery is 4000 mah its could hardly last me a day probably due to 2k screen

Honor 8x pro, i just bought it before 1 week and after using this phone i hanven't see any heating and yes it heats while using camera for long time and it happens with most the haevy configurations phone,Camera is awesome, processor outstanding,speaker is good, display quality best in this range !Over all i am satisfied with this and thank you Amazon for delivering it within 24 hrs.Great service !

Using the phone for 15 days now. Just love it. Except for slightly lower sound quality as compared to one plus two(my previous device) i find no cons.My usage is more for net surfing, mails, photos, msgng n ofcourse calling.Touch screen is very smooth.The heating problem so highlighted in other places... Is not much... Go for it ... Good bargain in range of 20k

Cons-Bad customer service-Infrequent software updates (Though now it has started receiving monthly security patches in the last 2 months)-Major Heating Problem-Camera performance degraded after the Oreo update-Speaker could've been a bit louder-Flash is not the brightest-Certainly not for one handed use-IR Blaster is not powerful enough to be made to work from one corner of the room to control devices in the other corner

Not worth purchase...bought it at the end of jan 2018...its 7 months now after using it as my primary phone....

My honest opinion:

Initially it was great (performance, camera, gaming, charging, stability), but for the sake of giving update Honor provided us with Oreo and it destoryed the device.

Now the camera sucks, none of the good games are playable including PUBG, battery charges in ages, hangs and jitters bere and there...

Did whatever i can to report those bugs to the company (mailed them, blogged them, talked to the customer care, talked to the helpline) but in the end accepted the fact that Honor no more cares about the user experience after the sell.

P.s. to add to the nightmare they now no longer provide bootloader unlock code so this beautiful hardware can no longer be rooted/flashed/custom romed...

Now its just a Piece of hardware with handicap software ... full of bugs and issues...

Had great hopes in Honor's after sales customer feedback and response system but am totally disappointed ...

I requst you all not to make the same mistake by buying any Honor phone...go for comanies like Mi which provide frequent updates and has a good customer feedback
